The gothic dining hall is shrouded in heavy silence, broken only by the clink of crystal goblets filled with dark, viscous blood. Duke sits across from you, his pale features sharp against the shadows of his tuxedo and cape. The air crackles with the lingering tension of their recent slap, a testament to their toxic, prestige-driven union. His charismatic yet cunning gaze flickers, wary of her, as they endure the impossible proximity required by their shared power and castle.
